Guest Bio:
Jessica Mans
Jessica Mans is the co-founder of iOverlander and a team member of LifeRemotely.com. After several long overlanding trips through Africa and down the Pan-American Highway, she traded the long-distance lifestyle for a decade in South Africa’s Western Cape, where she focused on building and maintaining iOverlander’s extensive database of places. Now back in Washington State, she’s running iOverlander full time, hanging out with her awesome 3-year-old, and dreaming of sunnier days, hot sand dunes, and way more time on the road.
Host Bio:
Ashley Giordano
Ashley Giordano completed a 48,800-kilometer overland journey from Canada to Argentina with her husband, Richard, in their well-loved but antiquated Toyota pickup. On the zig-zag route south, she hiked craggy peaks in the Andes, discovered diverse cultures in 15 different countries, and filled her tummy with spicy ceviche, Baja fish tacos, and Argentinian Malbec. As Senior Editor at Overland Journal, you can usually find Ashley buried in a pile of travel books, poring over maps, or writing about the unsung women of overlanding history. @desktoglory_ash
